Privacy Policy

This policy describes how this privately operated Waukesha County reference service handles information connected with browsing, search tools, and messages. It does not change the privacy practices of a sheriff, court, jail, DOC office, or linked service.

Information From Searches and Messages

A query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. The service does not use the query to create an official record. If a visitor contacts us, the message and return address may be retained so we can respond. We do not sell personal contact information.


Technical Data and Cookies

As with most websites, technical information may be received automatically when a page loads.

  • IP address and approximate network information
  • Browser version, device type, and operating system
  • Pages viewed, referring page, timestamps, and session activity
  • Cookies or similar tools used to understand site operation

Browser controls may limit cookies, although some features can then function differently.


How Information May Be Used

Technical and message data may be used to maintain the service, route a search to the requested provider, understand which materials are useful, diagnose performance issues, and support advertising. Search partners, analytics providers, and advertising networks may receive information needed for their own functions. Government or law-enforcement bodies may receive information when a valid legal order requires disclosure.


Outside Services and Security

Official Waukesha County links, court portals, DOC sources, federal locators, and search partners have their own privacy terms. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination controls its own handling. Reasonable safeguards are used for this service, but no internet-connected system can promise absolute security.


Minors and Privacy Choices

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor provided information may ask for its deletion. A visitor may ask what personal data is held, request correction or deletion where applicable, or object to certain processing by using the Contacts page.


Policy Changes

This policy may change as the service or applicable practices change. The current version will be posted here when an update takes effect.
